In Others’ Words: Leave a Message, Please

There’s a lot of wisdom in today’s quote, don’t you think?

And I love that it’s wrapped up in just a touch of humor.

The past is a tricky thing. We have to learn from it. And sometimes our heart is comforted, even blessed, by a walk down memory lane.

But sometimes . . . well, the past shows up hauling luggage weighted down with should haves and could haves and yells out a greeting dripping with an unrighteous voice of authority.

And that’s when the past deserves a “Nobody’s home” greeting. Or when you turn on the “No vacancy” sign. Or when you say, “Sorry. I’ve moved and left no forwarding address.”

In Your Words: When have you let the past go to voicemail? And how do you know whether to spend some time in the past — or whether to send the past packing?
